praising farmers and the farming community is not sufficient.

India has one of the

highest farmer suicide rates in the country. And this precedence is not taken
seriously by the people of the country and is never reported in any media channels.
There are various reasons why a farmer commits suicide. One might be due to lack
of proper production of crops due to scanty rainfalls or unpredictable weather
conditions. Governments should intervene to help farmers cope up with their losses.

Waiving off loans that are given to farmers by banks is one of the solutions to
decrease farmer distress in the country. But it’s a short-term solution. Helping farmer
with awareness programs about using technology to follow healthy agricultural
practices and other modern methods to increase the production of crops should be
done. Proper canals, dams and irrigation infrastructure should be built so that
farmers can overcome the loss of unpredictable weather conditions to a certain
extent, is a long term solution that governments should implement.
